Irony at its best: Donald Trump wants to deport immigrants on his very first day, but his businesses keep hiring them

US President- elect Donald Trump has actually taken a pledge to enforce severe and stricter immigration policies once he takes office, but, yet his businesses have hired a record number of foreign guest workers in the year 2024, reported Independent.

According to reports from CNN and Forbes, the companies of Donald Trump which include the significant Mar-a-Lago and several other golf courses have eventually received government approval to employ 209 foreign workers this year which is nearly double the number permitted a decade ago. These roles are predominantly including housekeepers, cooks and servers which are often being filled through the H-2B visa program and which allows hiring when there are insufficient US workers available.

While Donald Trump already argues that the seasonal nature of his clubs necessitates temporary staffing and several positions that many US citizens are seeking full-time work might actually avoid, numerus former employees suggest that higher wages and better benefits could actually attract more US applicants, asserted Independent. Adding onto that, numerous prominent supporters of Donald Trump like Tesla CEO Elon Musk have also sought to hire foreign workers for their companies.

Compounding the contradiction between Donald Trump's rhetoric and actions, Project 2025 which is a conservative agenda backed by former Donald Trump officials actually advocates for reducing the H-2B program to prioritize US worker, noted Independent. Several eminent critics have already made an argument that such guest worker programs actually undermine the US labor conditions by eventually allowing businesses to avoid raising wages or improving job offers.
